Brooklinen Classic Move-In Bundle

Brooklinen Classic Move-In Bundle

Brooklinen is known for their sheets, but their light and fluffy comforter is just as amazing. Customize your whole bedding experience with the Classic Move-In Bundle, which comes their hardcore sheet bundle and pillows, along with a comforter that's available in an all-season and a lightweight fill. The all-season has 700 fill power, while the lighter option has 600 fill for a more breathable style. We also love the baffle-box construction that helps keep the down fill in place.

Best Wool

Down Alternative Duvet Comforter

Down Alternative Duvet Comforter

Wool actually has natural temperature regulating properties, so it's a great option for sweaty sleepers. Amazon reviewers love that this comforter has the ability to keep one sleeping partner warm while cooling the other. The outer fabric is 100% cotton for a smooth feel, but you'll definitely want to use a duvet cover as this comforter cannot be machine washed.

6
Best For Allergies

Mission: Allergy Dust Mite- and Allergen-Proof Comforter

Mission: Allergy Dust Mite- and Allergen-Proof Comforter

If you suffer from allergies at night, there may be allergens hiding in your comforter. This comforter is medical grade, meaning it blocks 100% of dust mite and animal dander allergens. It's soft and lightweight, and does not require hot water washing. This pick is designed to be an all-season comforter, so we recommend using a cooling duvet cover to stay extra cool during summer months.

Best Sustainable Comforter

Buffy Breeze Comforter

On Sale
Buffy Breeze Comforter

This down-alternative comforter is lightweight and breathable to keep you cool, made from a material that's inherently temperature-regulating. Note that this comforter claims to be made of eucalyptus fiber, but it's technically lyocell, which means the eucalyptus wood pulp has been chemically processed into a fiber. Still, the process is considered sustainable in the textiles industry—the eucalyptus itself is grown in renewable forests in Austria and the production process requires 10 times less water than cotton.

Best Noiseless Comforter

Cohome 2100 Series Cooling Comforter

On Sale
Cohome 2100 Series Cooling Comforter

This customer favorite has nearly 6,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, which likely has something to do with its low price point and noise-free brushed fabric cover—no more tossing and turning to loud crinkle sounds. We love that it comes with corner tabs to help you secure it in place so it won't move around while you sleep. Plus, the ventilated fabric is super breathable while still being soft and fluffy; in other words, it's the best of both worlds.
